Much of Canada's terrestrial biodiversity is supported by boreal forests. Natural resource
development in boreal forests poses risks to this biodiversity. This paper reviews the …

The concept of forest degradation tends to be addressed in broad terms, and existing
definitions are difficult to apply in practice. These definitions are based on a reduction in the …

We review patterns and processes important for biodiversity in the Fennoscandian boreal
forest, describe man's past and present impact and outline a strategy for conservation …

Forest degradation is broadly defined as a reduction in the capacity of a forest to produce
ecosystem services such as carbon storage and wood products as a result of anthropogenic …

Stand structure was studied on thirty 1-ha plots in mature managed and old-growth forest
stands dominated by Norway spruce (Picea abies L. Karst.) in southern Finland. The forests …

Changes in the structure and composition of 123 000 ha of boreal forests in Sweden, were
analysed using historical records. These forests had not been commercially logged when …

Eleven Norway spruce Picea abies (L.) Karst. forests in the boreal zone of Sweden were
studied to investigate the effects of selective cuttings on wood-inhabiting fungi from the …

The diversity in different groups of obligate saproxylic beetles was related to ecological
variables at three levels of spatial scale in mature spruce-dominated forest. The variables …

Fire history and stand structure was examined in twelve virgin forest stands situated within
forest reserves in northern Sweden. The selected stands represented fire refuges as well as …

Woodpecker species as a group require several properties (dead wood, old deciduous and
large trees) that are characteristic of natural forest, the presence of which are not compatible …
